What a Glorious Easter

 

Listening to conference this weekend made me so happy. The last few months there has seemed to be a shade of black over everything and moments here and there where the light showed through, but the last talk of conference it was like having a bucket of light dumped over my head, that washed that curtain away. I hope I can do what is necessary to keep that light throughout the week. Here is Lucy with her Easter bunny. When I was excited about getting ducks I sang a song and it had her giggling. She likes when I sing to her, which makes me so happy.

Bridget is always wanting to give this baby loves.

I made a dress for her blessing next week....it looks better with her inside it. 

The kids loved their egg hunt.

"Gabriel, you left an egg over here, come on!"

Running off to find eggs

Trying to get a good picture with all of them...

Bridget brought baby Yoda up with a new outfit. :) made me giggle until I realized this meant they dumped the clean newborn clothea I stored away.

The kids spent a lot of time working on their "clubhouse" today. 

What will become my duck house

Carrot sprouts

Day 2 of duck eggs, so satisfying. I craved eggs the whole pregnancy, it was so good to actually eat one and not writhe in pain after word. 

Sleeping baby!

Breakfast!

1st time having eggs in years, so Sean made me this amazing sandwich. He is an amazing chef. 

Growing

Duck eggs, to see if my stomach tolerates them.

More starter plants

I will walk with Jesus/walk on water inspired footprint craft
